Abstract(in English) In this study, we developed a wheelchair Handrim grasping assist system for people with spasticity in the fingers. We developed a wearable grasping assist device and controlled it based on EMG signals in the forearm to operate the wheelchair. SVM (Support Vector Machine) was used to analyze the EMG signals, and it was shown that the system could discriminate the grasping motion with high accuracy regardless of the position and posture of the forearm. The effectiveness of the proposed system was confirmed by conducting operability verification experiments such as straight driving and turning using an power-assisted wheelchair.
